AIBU to let my children use all inclusive on a group holiday?

Against my better judgement I agreed to a group holiday. Mixture of family and friends all know each other well. All have children ranging from baby-16

My BIL organised it but we all booked separately.

He sent a link to an all inclusive resort and that's what I and half of the group booked.

BIL and the half booked the same hotel but self catering.

It was £600 more for AI- which as we are here for 8 days works out as less than £20 per person per day (four of us)

First night was fine as we all went out for dinner but today has been hell.

We have had a pool day and my kids have been able to get snacks/drinks/etc as they like but to purchase it all is quite expensive.

We've just come back from dinner- which was 'free' for us but not for them and were told it wasn't fair if our kids used the AI.

I asked why they didn't book the AI and they said they didn't like AI- but they were at dinner having the same food as us.

I don't want to be say to our kids that they can't use the AI but equally don't want to fall out. I enquired how much it would cost to upgrade to AI and it was 2200€ per family.

Even if he wanted to protect his children from not having the snacks that your children have - that's life.
I used to go on holiday with my cousins (self catered) and their parents would buy ice creams and drinks constantly and eat out. We tended to eat at the caravan and maybe have an ice cream only. My parents wouldn't have told them to not buy food just because they don't.

Are you kidding @AIvSC ?

That wasn’t disappointing That was a fabulous update.

A man reflects on his behaviour and realises he was wrong and actually owns it. No fuss, no drama, an acknowledgement he’d been unreasonable and a happy holiday for everyone.

I clicked YABU for even needing to start this thread- tell them to fuck the fuck off to the further side of fuck.

Just read you comments so someone else may have said this, but I bet your SIL is on MN and saw your post.😀
